PUBLIC HEARINGS y
PC 95-9 Requesting annexation and rezoning from Kendall County Ag-1 to City Ag-1. The address
of the property is 9271 Kennedy Road and the Petitioners and Owners are J.T. Johnson and Bethany
Johnson.
J. T. Johnson presented the petition. He said he would like to bring in approximately 7.599 acres.
Mr. Johnson's house is on the front of this property(front on Kennedy Road.) He would like to sell
the back half off as one building lot. He has done perk tests and they turned out really well. He had
the documentation for them. He has not had any trouble with the septic on his property. Mr.
Johnson said he assumes they could dig deep enough to get a well. He has a sandpoint for his home
and receives plenty of water. He works for the City and would like to be in the City. He has met
with the Planning Council. They asked him for a 10'permanent easement along the western edge of
the property with a 25'construction, if they would ever need a storm sewer or a sanitary lead down
through this property. They also asked for approximately 100' easement at the back of this property
along the creek. This was in case they ever run a sewer interceptor through the area. There is 100'
flood plain there anyway, so he had no problem with that request.
Lawrence Langland asked where he intends to put the road to enter the back lot. Mr. Johnson
responded that there was a 22' roadway that would be part of the deed to the property on the east
edge of the property. It would be a private road, and a flag-type lot.
Ralph Pfister said it was discussed at the last meeting of the Sanitary District, that as part of the
Planning Process, they would like to see that someone has made a petition to the Sanitary District
before anyone gets approved by the Plan Commission and City Council. He wanted to ask that this
specific question be asked as each petition comes forth.
Chairman Feltz said that in the past,the City has not accepted a flag-type lot. If this type would pass
through, it would set a precedent. Residents would be in a good position to come back and ask for
the same treatment.
T.J. Hiles said there is a distinction however,between agricultural property of this size and nature and
other types of lots considered flag lots. Mr. Johnson's property will not require any plat or lot
approval from the City, as long as it conforms with the flag.
Much discussion took place concerning flag-lot policies, both for residential and agricultural zoning.
Michael Crouch asked T. J. Hiles for clarification, under City Ag-zoning, if there is no requirement
for frontage. Mr. Hiles said he did not believe so.
Chairman Feltz asked if there were any questions regarding this parcel. Hearing none, Chairman Feltz
closed the Public Hearing for PC 95-9.

NEW BUSINESS
95-9 Requesting annexation and rezoning from Kendall County Ag-1 to City Ag-1. The address of
the property is 9271 Kennedy Road and the Petitioners and Owners are J.T. Johnson and Bethany
Johnson.
More discussion followed concerning setting precedent for flag lots. Jeff Palmquist said there were
a number of areas in the Ordinances that had holes, and the issue of flag lots was one. He said they
could simply put in the Ordinances no flag lots, and end problems that could arise in the future. It
was agreed that this was something the City Council should consider, especially since there is more
City-Ag property zoned, and loopholes exist.
Michael Crouch made the motion to approve the annexation of PC 95-9 from County Ag-1 to City
Ag-1, subject to negotiation and the answering of the annexation agreement. Larry Langland
seconded.
